We are aware of the situation and a fix should be retroactively applied in the next hours regarding ELO from SOLO tables.
An announcement is incoming regarding the recent changes in the ELO system - stay tuned

There are no longer ‘victories’ in coop games, now my victory rate drops because my victory doesn’t count (like winning in training mode counts as losing in victory rate)

I hope this is not permanent. It is very helpful to see a player's rating while you are playing the game. You can alter your play/strategy if you know other's ranking or you can offer help if you know they are very new to the game. Also, not being able to see how many points everyone gets after a game (thinking about Hanabi) is an unfortunate development as well. Please bring these features back.

But railroad ink is not co-op. Those co-op's i played were you can play solo, you don't get any elo's. I am neither sure can you get elo's on other games by playing solo... At least as I remember before couldn't get any.
yeah you shouldn't be able to but i'm guessing whatever they did introduced a bug that messed up the rankings and now people have ridiculous Elo from solo games.

From the announcement of ELO changes I linked to above:
PS: Some of this changes were introduced silently yesterday afternoon already, in order of us to perform final checks, unfortunately, this lead to unexpected behavior on ELO for solo games that are currently under individual fixes.

I do hope the ELO's visibility for Hardback will be restored, as it is a fundamental element for enjoyment of the game in totality. Thanks!

I guess that also means you can no longer get "first victory" trophies (and associated 5 gift points) for cooperative games.

I don't know what you are talking about. Nothing has changed, except that the ELO value is now hidden.
The number of games/victories and even our rank (strong/expert/master/...) are still calculated the same way.


EDIT: Oh, actually I am wrong about the victories. I understand now, the nb of games is updated, and so the ELO, but not the number of victories.
